Letter To Alfred Hitchcock of 1958
Dearest Alfred,
I write to you from the world of tomorrow. I was transmitted your message rather late, it is no longer the year 2000 it is nine years post millennium at this moment in time from which I am writing you. I live in the world of 2009, where not much has changed since 1958. Teenagers are still crazy and driven by early hormone development,automobiles are still driven on the ground, and coca cola is still one of the most popular drinks around.
However I must say, in a way we have progressed in the field of revolutionary technologies unknown to your world. Televisions are now as wide as the silver screen and as thin as a book. We can now access and watch hundreds of television channels at all hours of the day. We can even pause live television. Music has changed format again to what is called a compact disc or CD, now CD's are even becoming obsolete and digital downloads are the newest way to share and obtain music from our favorite musicians. Engineers have made it possible for everyone to afford and buy what is called a personal computer, imagine flattening your typewriter and adding a flat television screen that projects everything that you type on it and gives you the option to correct spelling in seconds and print with the push of a button. Life is now a fast paced world with a whole lot of buttons. We now are connected to the rest of the world through a creation called the internet. It transmits addresses, information, images, all kinds of resources even films can be watched directly through the internet which is connected through the computer. It really is an amazing technology. We also have traded in our modern telephones for portable cellular telephone devices that fit in our pockets and are now as sophisticated as our computers where we can access the internet anywhere with the push of a button. We have great gadgets and gizmos, however I regret to inform you that our houses are still made of wood and our automobiles aren't close to taking flight, there is still war overseas and our planet's ozone layer is quickly deteriorating with the mass of pollution we are creating, and global warming is taking effect. I don't know how much longer earth will be able to support life but I bet america will create a special gadget to preserve and protect life on earth.
Your Friend from The Future,
Lolita
